  Review Configuration: Ensure that your SAP system is correctly configured for handling electronic fiscal documents. This includes checking the settings for NF-e and ensuring that the cancellation process is properly defined.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction code for posting cancellations. In SAP, there are specific transactions for creating and posting cancellations of NF-e.
